IMPROVEMENT IN NEEDLE-WRAPPERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Pat'ant and making part of thesama To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, VICTOR MILWARD, of Ipsley, in the county of Warwick,England, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented ordiscovered' an Improvement in Needle-Wrappers; and I, the said VICTORMILWARD, do hereby declare the nature' of the said invention, and inwhat manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly. describedand ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, that is tosay- -My invention consists of the improvement hereinafter described andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in wrappers for paperingneedles.

In making a needle-wrapper according to my in` vention, I take aneedle-paper or wrapper ef the ordinary kind, and I take a second pieceof needle-paper, of a length somewhat less than the needles tobepapered, and of' a-breadth somewhat greater than the packet of needlesto be made.

The smaller paper may be rectangular, but I prefer tocnt off itscorners. lhc said smaller piece of paper is placed upon the ordinaryneedle-wrapper at a short. distance from its middle, and three of thesides of the smaller piece ofpaper are attached te the needle-wrapper,by gum or other adhesive matter. There is thus formed@I pocket to thewrapper, at the open end of which pocket the needles may be introduced,either-loose or stuck into cloth or fabric.

Before combining the two papers they are creased in the ordinary way.The wrapper, when folded, resembles an ordinary wrapper.'

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents the `ordinaryneedle-paper or wrapper which I use, and

Figure 2 represents the second or smaller piece of paper which I use to'form the pocket to the wrapper.

Figure 3v represents the smaller piece of paper, fig. 2, attached to theordinary paper or wrapper, iig. 1, and

Figure 4 represents a section of the same. Figure 5 represents thewrapper folded up. The ordinary needle-paper or wrapper is marked a,

and the smaller piece of paper is marked b, in the drawing.

The said smaller piece of paper bis placed upon the paper a, in theposition represented in figs.. 3 and 4, and the three sides b,2 of thepaper b are attached to the said paper a by gum or other adhesivematter.

By the attaching of the smaller piece of paper b to the wrapper or papera, a pocket, marked c, is made to the wrapper, the end c2 of which isopen.

The needles to y be held in the pocket-care introduced into the saidpocket at the open end o2.

The needles may either be stuckupon cloth or fabric d, as represented ing. 4,' before being introduced into the pocket c, or the needles maybeintroduced into the pocket c in a loose state. Y

The needle-paper or wrapper a is creased with the ordinary longitudinaland transverse creases, and the end and sides of the paperb, from whichthe pocket is made, are also creased, as illustratedin the drawing,before they are connected together.

After-the needles have been introduced into the pocket c, the paper aand the sides b2 of the pocket c are first folded at the longitudinalcreases, and the papers a and?) are afterward folded at the transversecreases, and the ends ofthe wrapper engaged or tucked together, asillustrated in fig. 5, when the papering of the needles is complete, thewrapper, when folded, resembling an ordinaryneedle-wrapper.

, Having' now described the nature of lmy invention, and the manner inwhich the same is'to be performed, I wish it to be understood that Theimprovement in wrappers for-papering needles hereinbefore described andillustrated in the acco1n-. panying drawing, that is to say, combiningwith an ordinary needle-paper or wrapper a second and smaller piece ofpaper, attached by three of its sides to the said needle-paper orwrapper, as described and illustrated, so as to form a pocket for thereception of the needles, as set forth.
